David Bowie’s long-time producer Tony Visconti has questioned whether Adele’s voice is actually hers – or just a ‘manipulated’ version of it.

‘You turn the radio on and it’s fluff, you are listening to 90% computerised voices,’ said Tony,

‘We know Adele has a great voice but it’s even questionable if that is actually her voice or how much has been manipulated. We don’t know.’

The Grammy award-winning producer was speaking to the Daily Star as he bemoaned what he perceived to be the current ‘boring’ sound in the pop industry.

‘There’s a sound to pop now that is so perfect it’s boring, because everything is fixed,’ he said.

Tony is one of the judges on Sky Arts new talent show, Guitar Star and he admitted that he is ‘looking for virtuosos like Hendrix, Cobain and Bowie’.

‘There’s no fluffy back story, there’s no: “I lost my pet dog in 97 and that made me want to play” nonsense. No-one can mistake me for Simon Cowell. Today is the worst time ever in the music industry, but Guitar Star is a step in the right direction.
